    Antonio Asis was born in 1932 in Buenos Airs, Argentina. He studied at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes, from where he obtained his doctorate degree in 1950.

    In 1956, he travelled to Paris where he worked closely with artists such as Agam, Soto, Schaeffer, and Vasarely. At the same time he began to focus his art on a two-part kinetics. He also started to explore the relationship between colors in order to obtain a form of optical mélange and kinetic vibration in his art.
